PDF annotation / correction applications Thread poster: Vanessa Di Stefano
|
I know there have been a couple of threads on this topic, but they do not seem to have helped me very much... I have just done my first proofreading job in years and I am being offered more. At the moment the only way I can do it is to print off, correct and re-scan all the documents, which is not only extremely time-consuming but also expensive. Can anyone recommend a PDF annotation / correction application or programme that would allow me to add in the standard proof-reading marks where necessary in the PDF, both where the mistake is and in the margin, as is the norm. I know about Adobe Acrobat, but it is very expensive and unless I get a lot more work, I cannot justify it.
I would welcome any recommendations! | | |

Version XI, the latest one, I believe, has it all in there, for free. Just use "comments".
I don't find them very intuitive and I sometimes waste time just doing simple things. I keep meaning to view the tutorials but I always put it off until "mañana". But it works pretty well.
Or are you talking of scanned PDFs specifically? | | |
Hi Sheila,
So Acrobat has all the standard (BSI) proof reading marks and a way to put them both into the text and in the margin?
By scanned PDFs do you mean like my scanned in corrections, where it is an image? In which case, I believe the original documents I get are Word documents converted into PDFs, so I would imagine far more 'editable'.
